Iraq says it is investigating the circumstances around a drone attack that Saudi Arabia said was launched from Iraqi territory yesterday, Al Jazeera reports.

Iraq’s foreign ministry says in a statement that its air defences had not detected any drones being launched in the country’s airspace. The statement also calls on Saudi Arabia “to cooperate and exchange relevant information” to enhance security and stability.

The ministry reiterates its backing of “the firm position rejecting any targeting of sisterly countries”.
